Lemon Blueberry Muffins





To round out the breakfast theme of this week I decided to bake some lemon blueberry muffins. These muffins made the apartment smell really good, while they were baking.  If there is one muffin that I could eat everyday this one would be it. These muffins are sweet with a little tang from the lemon. You all know how much I love lemon and these muffins have a lot of lemon flavor.







These muffins are light and fluffy so they are great to eat first thing in the morning or eat as an after workout snack. They are full of blueberries, which sweeten their flavor even more.


Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups blueberries
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs (room temperature)
7 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest

2. In a medium sized bowl mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
